| 2 - Brass Brazing Rods 2' Long (or clothes hangers)
|
|
| 1 - Magic Marker
|
| 1 - Large Cardboard Box or Poster Paper
|
| 1.
| Stand your horse up square
on level ground.
|
|
| A.
| Take the first wire (#1), shape form
it to the contour of the wither area on both sides where
the front of
your saddle will sit.
|
|
2.
| Leave the first wire (#1) in place -- take the second
(#2) wire and form it lengthwise with the back to a length of 2 feet, approximately
4-6" below the backbone on one side. Then mark where
the first (#1) wire and second (#2) wire
intersect with the magic marker on wire #1.
|
|
3.
| Lay the #1 and #2 wires on the cardboard or poster paper
and outline each one with a mark where the second (#2) wire intersected
with the first (#1) wither wire.
|
|
4.
| Put the first (#1) wither wire back on the horse.
|
|
5.
| Now REFORM the second (#2) wire to shape the horses back
on both sides 6" back from the wither wire. When this wire is
perfectly shaped - transfer outline to the cardboard or poster paper and write #2 on the pattern.
|
|
6.
| Reusing the same wire again - reshape and conform to the
horses back 12" from wither wire on both sides. Then transfer this
outline to cardboard or poster paper and write #3 on pattern.
|
|
7.
| Continue at 6" increments along the horses back
until you have five patterns over the back that are numbered #1 through #5 and one
lengthwise pattern.
|
These patterns can then be mailed to the treemaker for a proper fit for
your horse.
